Overview
Scarriff Dock is recorded by National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as quay/wharf. The exact record supports one named whole quay; this first account keeps its official identity, type, point and source together.
What this place is
The exact official source identifies Scarriff Dock as quay/wharf. It is treated as the whole named quay, not as an unnamed map point or a loose part of a wider harbour.
People and events
Cut-limestone quay wall, built c. 1850, with cast-iron bollards.
How it was used
A quay forms a firm waterside edge where vessels can lie alongside for people, goods or equipment.
What survives
Cut-limestone quay wall, built c. 1850, with cast-iron bollards. The saved record fixes this official subject at its map point, but it is not treated as a new report of present condition, access or continued use.
Why it mattered
Keeping Scarriff Dock as its own quay preserves one exact part of the working coast. A deeper claim about trade, rescue, crews, engineering or local change needs a source that states it.
